Description
The Keyhole Angelfish is a striking dwarf angelfish known for its dark body, a prominent white 'keyhole' shaped spot on its flank, and a bright yellow margin on its anal fin. It is a hardy species that requires a well-established reef tank with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. While generally peaceful with dissimilar species, it can be territorial towards other dwarf angelfish.
